United States of America (Union/Federals/Yankees) vs. Confederate States of America (Confederate(s)/Rebs). The Generals were Maj. Gen. Irvin McDowell (Union) and Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard (Confederate) at First Bull Run, and Maj. Gen. George McClellan (Union) vs. Gen. Robert E. Lee (Confederate) at Second Bull Run. Both battles resulted in a Confederate victory.
Here is an incomplete list of officers who commanded Union Armies and/or Military Departments during the war.

Some of these men commanded more than one army or department during the conflict. Brigadier General Irvin McDowell, Major General George B. McClellan, Major General Ambrose E. Burnside, Major General Joseph Hooker, Major General George G. Meade, Brigadier General Robert Anderson, Major General William S. Rosencrans, Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler, Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Banks, Maj. Gen. Edward Ord, Maj.Gen. John Pope, Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand, Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield, Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell, Maj. Gen. Phillip Sheridan, Maj. Gen William T. Sherman, Brig. Gen. George Crook Other Noteworthy Union Generals were: Lietenant General Ulysses S. Grant, Maj. Gen Henry W. Halleck, Gen.-in-Chief Winfield Scott, Maj. Gen. John F. Reynolds, Maj. Gen. Abner Doubleday, Brig. Gen. George A. Custer, Brig. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren.
